SunRace MX80 11-50 11 Speed Cassette

April 19th, 2017

This is the all new SunRace MX80 11 speed cassette – which comes equipped with a monster 50tooth sprocket and costs less than £110!

The SunRace MX80 looks like an ultra high end cassette in the black finish – although costs £10 more for the privilege.

This wide ratio cassette is designed to fit existing Shimano pattern freehub bodies – and offers the same maximum climbing gear as the ultra high-end SRAM Eagle 12 speed transmission.

Although the SunRace MX80 sits at a good price point, it’s very much a high end bit of kit. Quality looks on point and the red spider design has lovely detailing.

The SunRace MX80 is an 11 speed cassette that is designed to be the perfect solution for riders that don’t want to resort to an expensive expander sprocket – and want a smooth, clean shift between gears…

Although the 11speed SunRace design lacks the 10 tooth sprocket that SRAM use, the 11tooth sprocket will be fine if you up your chainring size.

It’s not like you’ll run out of gears with that enormous 50tooth climbing winch!

The red anodised aluminium carrier looks amazing, and is the sort of detail we expect on far pricier items. We look forward to seeing how well the overall finish holds up with some miles put in to it!

With the massive 50tooth sprocket on the back of your steed, you can winch up really steep gradients with fairly little effort. Although some riders won’t need a gear that big very often, it can be a welcome aid as a get me home gear for those days when you’ve outdone yourself!

We’ve just bolted the SunRace MX80 cassette to a longterm test bike, so keep your eyes peeled on our Instagram and Facebook feeds for updates…
